Zebra scanner
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
When using Zebra scanners, ensure the following keystroke configurations are set to prevent errors.
|
||||
|
||||
Begin on the Zebra scanner's home screen, and select the :guilabel:`DataWedge` app (the icon for the
|
||||
app is a light blue barcode). On the :guilabel:`DataWedge Profiles` page, select the profile option
|
||||
to access the Zebra scanner's settings.
|
||||
Begin on the Zebra scanner's home screen, and select the :guilabel:`DataWedge` app (the app is
|
||||
represented by a :guilabel:`(light blue barcode)` icon).
|
||||
|
||||
Scroll down to the :guilabel:`Keyboard Output` option, and ensure the :guilabel:`Enable/disable
|
||||
keystroke output` option is :guilabel:`Enabled`.
|
||||
On the :guilabel:`DataWedge Profiles` page, select the profile option to access the Zebra scanner's
|
||||
settings.
|
||||
|
||||
.. warning::
|
||||
It is **not** suggested to use the "DWDemo" profile, as it does not work properly in every
|
||||
circumstance.
|
||||
|
||||
Instead, it is recommended to create a new, personal profile. Once a new profile is created, add
|
||||
the *Odoo Mobile* app and *Google Chrome* app in the :guilabel:`Associated Apps` on the scanner's
|
||||
home screen.
|
||||
|
||||
Once the profile is selected, scroll down to the :guilabel:`Keyboard Output` option, and ensure the
|
||||
:guilabel:`Enable/disable keystroke output` option is :guilabel:`Enabled`.

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
Now, go back to the :guilabel:`Profile` options page, and select :guilabel:`Key event options`.
|
||||
Here, ensure the :guilabel:`Send Characters as Events` option is checked.
|
||||
Once that option is enabled, go back to the :guilabel:`Profile` options page, and go to the
|
||||
:guilabel:`Keystroke output` section. Then, open the :guilabel:`Key event options` submenu. Under
|
||||
:guilabel:`Characters`, ensure the :guilabel:`Send Characters as Events` option is checked.
|
||||
|
||||
.. important::
|
||||
The :guilabel:`Send Characters as Events` option **must** be checked on the Zebra scanner, or
|
||||
Odoo **cannot** recognize the barcodes that are scanned.
|
||||
|
||||
Once all those steps have been taken, perform a test scan to ensure the Zebra scanner is working
|
||||
properly, as intended.
